Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention is related to an electrical connector, and more particularly to a board-mounted electrical connector for use in a notebook computer.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- An electrical connector mostly comprises a dielectric housing and a plurality of conductive terminals received in the dielectric housing. The plurality of conductive terminals generally include power terminals, signal terminals and grounding terminals. Generally, the power terminal has a width greater than the signal terminal and the grounding terminal for the electrical current that the power terminals conduct is larger than that of the signal terminals. However, because the width of the power terminal is added, the soldering portion of the power terminal has higher soldering intensity than the signal terminal. When the power and signal terminals are distributed asymmetrically in the electrical connector and the electrical connector is mounted onto a printed circuit board, the electrical connector will have unbalanced soldering intensity. Consequently, the soldering area between the signal terminal and the printed circuit board is easily broken off when the electrical connector repeatedly connects with/detaches from a complementary connector or due to an accidental external force, thereby resulting in deformation of the electrical connector and even leading to break the electrical interconnection between the electrical connector and the printed circuit board and thus affect normal signal transmission.
- Hence, it is requisite to provide an electrical connector having balanced soldering intensity and improved connector reliability to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the related art.
- Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector having balanced soldering intensity so as to be securely assembled onto a printed circuit board and ensure a reliable signal transmission of the whole electrical connector.
- In order to achieve the object set forth, an electrical connector in accordance with the present invention comprises a dielectric housing, a plurality of power terminals at one side of the dielectric housing, signal terminals, and solder pads disposed at the other side of the dielectric housing opposite to the power terminals. The dielectric housing includes a base portion and a bottom portion integrally connecting with the base portion and defines a plurality of passageways extending through the bottom portion. The terminals received in the passageways each have a contact portion for mating with a complementary connector and a solder foot extending beyond the bottom portion for electrically engaging with a printed circuit board. The solder pads have a width greater than the signal terminals. The solder pads are upwardly inserted into the base portion from the bottom portion of the dielectric housing and each comprise a retention portion for interferentially mating with the base portion and a solder foot extending beyond the bottom portion for mechanically connecting with the printed circuit board.
- Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the present embodiment when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIGS. 1-6 , in assembly, both thepower terminals 4 and thesignal terminals 5 are upwardly inserted therein from theengaging surface 210 of thedielectric housing 2 and respectively received incorresponding passageways contact portions mating surface 200 and thesolder feet engaging surface 210. Similarly, thesolder pads 6 are upwardly inserted incorresponding passageways 215 of thedielectric housing 2 from theengaging surface 210 with thesolder feet 61 protruding beyond theengaging surface 210. Theretention portions 60 of thesolder pads 6 pass through thebottom portion 21 of thedielectric housing 2 to interfere with thebase portion 20 so as to retain thesolder pads 6 in thedielectric housing 2.
